Ofcourse, I am partial to the Thompson blue. However, I also love the Hunting. I was surprised to see how nice it looks on people.

I had occasion to visit the Scottish shop in Moultenboro, NH and saw a NEW tartan. The lady said it was a millennium pattern. The wool was from Locharron and it was absolutely beautiful. Though not a "family pattern," I would not mind owning a skirt like that one.

Lochcarron does excellent work.

My favourite is the Dress blue (matches my husband's eye colour and most of our children's,) next is the hunter one, we both hunt, and have any of you seen Oregon State's tartan?? it has Lavender in it!!! I want a skirt made of that!

I prefer the MacTavish Red modern and the Hunting tartans myself. The blue reminds me too much of the Carolina Tarheels, and being a Duke fan I just can't bring myself to like anything light blue HAHAHA.
